School Supplies for Fines

Event series runs
daily from
Apr 25 to May 3, 2013.

The Educational Resource Commons and Franklin D. Schurz Library are working with WNDU’s popular “Pack-a-Backpack” school supply drive that provides back to school kits to thousands of deserving children in grades K through 6 throughout the community.
The Schurz Library and ERC will serve as public drop-off sites for the drive, which will be held on campus until May 3. Students, faculty, and staff who drop off supplies from the detailed list below to either the Library or ERC will be forgiven $2 in library fines for each item donated.
Departments are also encouraged to collect supplies from their faculty and staff internally. We recommend that participating departments designate a collection point in their department office. Supplies collected from departments may be dropped off to the Schurz Library Circulation Desk by May 10 for inclusion in the drive.
Please contact Kim Parker at 520-5548 for more information. A list of accepted supplies is below.
